Chances of Being Pregnant

I'm 32 years old and my boyfriend is 48. I'm on birth control pills (Tri-Sprintec) and sometimes we do not use a condom the whole time. Right now we are not ready to be parents due to financial and emotional reasons. I obsessively worry about being pregnant even though we are an older couple. I've also worried about being pregnant because I'm on Seroquel and and Wellbutrin. My boyfriend has depression. I know these things can affect my baby and so right now is not the best time to be pregnant. Just wanted to know what our chances of being pregnant would be given our ages and the meds I'm taking. Thanks so much!

I NEVER took my bc at the same time. Neverrrrrr got pregnant once in 7 years. The reason they want you to take it at the same time each day is so there is a constant level of hormone in your body all the time w/ no fluctuations. If you're and hr or two late in taking it. You're VERY unlikely to get pregnant.  That being said, perhaps setting an alarm on your cell phone will help you remember... for example set it for noon everyday and take it right when the alarm goes off. That's what i used to do

I would say your chances are about zero,  but is there a reason you're not taking it at the same time every day?
